I'll see how it is in a couple days. First on the schedule on Monday will be a call to the dentist.

BTW, if i were me, I'd see an ortho for the foot vs a podiatrist. I don't have a lot of love/faith for the podiatrists.
That's surprising to me. Did you have a bad experience with a podiatrist? I had one I saw in California but hadn't needed one in Colorado. Michael, my honey, has lots of foot issues so I've been with him to see his podiatrist, Nathan Hunt. He's the one I'm waiting to see.

I Googled ortho vs. podiatrist and got this result:

What is the best doctor for foot issues?

As a general rule, if foot pain is your only issue, a podiatrist is a great choice. If you have pain all throughout your body, such as the neck and back, you should see an orthopedic doctor. If you can find a doctor that is trained in both orthopedics and podiatry, that is much better in the long run.

I had plans to do some more fencing but my (likely) kidney stones suggested that was a bad idea, so I vacuumed the house and took my son for a driving lesson instead. Now it's...4:48am and I'm working. I know how to get down.

My wife's mother is a pack-rat and semi-hoarder, and they have decided to move into an apartment. We are at the home helping to separate what is good and what needs to be donated, there is no way for them to take a fraction of the stuff. A few months ago the took in some curio cabinets for the basement and some dope took a sawzall to the wood stair railing so the cabinets could be moved into the basement. I put the railing back together for them to keep it safe for use. They are now faced with the decision to get the cabinets out of the basement as part of the move, this is crazy and I am not touching the railing a second time. I suggested smashing the cabinets to get them out - they must have about 10 curio cabinets filled with trinkets and glasses and dishes, holy damn.

Good luck with that, Joey! Are they sure they are willing to part with stuff, which they will have to do to move to an apartment?
I have a friend who had to deal with her mother in law's hoarding four times. The apartment was really, really bad. Not a pleasant task.

I think we are headed to Islamorada to check out Seaside Glassworks dichroic glass. We're looking for a new piece. Probably this one even if it is an invasive species but we'll see what she's has in her gallery.

Well they have accepted the fact they need to move to an apartment from a single family home. My mother in law would not give up anything if it was up to her but it is necessary. Her husband understands and my wife and her sister will make sure it happens. Lots of work though. A lot of items will be donated , some posted for sale. My wife got a lot more Christmas decorations from this (oh yay ! lol) , slowly but surely I guess.

My parents had downsized from a mobile home to an apartment. They weren't hoarders by any means, but they had a bit of clutter. It took a lot of convincing by my sister who helped them pack to get them to part with anything.

Had a fun Saturday. MG meet at a member's house on a 750 acre lake with a 21' party barge. Lots of MGAs but mine was not one of them. I rebuilt a generator but I was not brave enough to take the A on the hour drive to get there. I need to test it on a couple local drives first.

I rebuilt a few SU's a long time ago. Good project.
